ZAGREB, May 23, 2020 – Social Democratic Party (SDP) leader Davor Bernardic said on Saturday in Dubrovnik that voting for the Croatian Democratic Union (HDZ) meant voting for corruption.
Responding to Plenkovic’s statement in an interview that a vote for Miroslav Skoro was a vote for the SDP, the opposition leader thus reiterated his accusations against the HDZ.
He went on to say that during the four-year of the term of the current government Plenkovic “has hidden behind Brussels, his aides, various task forces, the virus, and crisis management teams.”
Commenting on Plenkovic’s statement that the ban on Sunday work will be lifted if it is established that it is no longer required epidemiologically, but that he is for Sunday to be a non-working day, the SDP chief said that Plenkovic could not decide whether to have working or non-working Sundays.
“He could not take a position on important decisions for Croatia. Therefore, he cannot be at the helm of Croatia, and he will not be after 5 July,” Bernardic said at a news conference in Dubrovnik before an SDP meeting.
Bernardic accused the Plenkovic government of lack of care for the tourism sector and promised that as soon as the SDP won the election, that party would reduce Value Added Tax in tourism and hospitality to 10%.
